Poem
As they leave They leave with us nothing but an empty Treasure to treasure which even Judas Iscariot The disciple’s Treasure cannot measure And treasure with pleasure. As they leave, They victimize and they seize with impunity And dishonour students’ union leader’s certificates Since 2000,for leading peaceful protest Within and outside campus As they leave, They leave with stains of blood of 17 pensioners And their other colleagues in their hands While younger colleagues and students mere Exist like living corpses They vindictively sack staff who tell them The naked truth and seize food from their families As they leave, They leave with our monetised vehicles and valuables Monetisation another coinage for stealing people’s Goods and properties As they leave, They relish and enjoy destroying people’s lives And careers, giggling, later, dexterously smiling And suddenly laughing hysterically like a naked Beautifully handsome man dancing to no particular Beat in Dugbe market As they leave, They leave with us fusion of confusion Sensational exploitation and victimization Intimidation and bastardization of the then Glorious University of Ibadan culture and traditon As they leave, They leave thinking that their evil deeds will Be buried and buried with them secretly Alas!!…the wind has blown and the buttocks Of the mother-hen is exposed. Alayande Stephen. T 20th,September,2005 6.00am
